TJX Companies, with over 5,200 stores globally, is positioned for continued growth, according to various experts. The company's strategy of purchasing excess inventory from struggling retailers at reduced prices allows it to thrive in a counter-cyclical market. Despite recent market fluctuations where retail stocks were down, analysts view the dip in TJX's stock as a potential buying opportunity, emphasizing its quality as a key holding. Although cautious on overall consumer spending due to economic cycles, they point out that TJX has managed to sidestep tariffs and continued to gain momentum with impressive same-store sales expected in the coming years. Importantly, the company also has a track record of heavy share buybacks, further demonstrating confidence in their future performance.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Reopening retail stocks have slid lately, so this a buying opportunity. TJX hit $73.78 on May 7 and now trades below $65. One caveat, though, is that TJX’s PE now stands at 52.7x, higher than the sector’s 32.5x. Attribute their PE to high growth expectations, but analysts foresee a forward PE of 22.94x. To be prudent, buy an initial position on a pullback, then see how TJX performs before buying a second tranche. Read 3 Retail Stocks to Buy Now: Ready, Set, Shop for our full analysis.

SELL

They have done stunningly well over the last 20 years but for a large company it gets increasingly difficult to grow at decent rates, so he is thinking of selling it.

BUY

They report Wednesday. TJX quietly makes money and this time shouldn't be different.

BUY

He read an excellent report today on TJX. He recommended selling this way too soon and he's now angry at himself. This will be a monster good stock in the spring reopening.

DON'T BUY

Covid could be a great long-term opportunity for TJX, because they buy clothes and other products from distressed merchants, but short-term he doesn't see many customers, because they don't sell essential, must-have items during this pandemic. He expects a disappointing quarter. They report next week.

PARTIAL SELL

He questions how good it is, because it's a retail store. Has good inventory. Doesn't scream higher. He sold some of his shares.

COMMENT

It has a poor online presence and has the wrong inventory. Its footprint isn't designed for social distancing whereas Costco aisles are so wide you can drive car down them. The stock has been bouncing, helped by getting inventory from dying retailers. This will be in great shape once the pandemic is under control and people can safely shop again. Up 2.5% today on hopeful vaccine news. so the market is impatient.

DON'T BUY

TJX-N are stores that were doing amazing business prior to the pandemic. It is hard to imagining how they will come back.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 28/19, Up 19%) Relatively defensive retail name. Nimble, agile, able to respond to fashion and the economy. Amazing earnings report yesterday. Earnings above estimates. Hiked dividend. Announced a buyback. Raised guidance.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 07/20, Up 4%) It has been on a tear. They get a lot of their product from companies going out of business. This has been a strong seasonal trade over the years.

TOP PICK

Jan. 23 to March 31 is seasonality. People have been down on retail for so long because of the Amazon effect. But TJX sources its merchandise from ailing brick-and-mortar stores to sell at wide margins. TJX has done well. January to March seasonality has been strong in recent years. Chart looks good, so seasonality is likely to repeat. (Analysts’ price target is $65.15)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 12/18, Up 34%) Their ability to be very nimble, to change inventory quickly helps the bottom line. In an economy that could slow down, you want to own a company like this. They are expanding internationally also. People like shopping at Winners.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 14/19, Up 12%) TJX runs the Winners discount clothing stores--in recessions people shop at downmarket chains like this. Late-January to end-March is their seasonality and it outperformed this year.

BUY

TJX is best in breed and they'll always have an offering that isn't online and is offered in shops. They turn their inventory weekly. There's always a new deal. A great model. Free cash flow is strong and has really competent management. Note that retail tends not to be good late-cycle, but TJX has great numbers. It's hard to not like them, but definitely this is defensive.

TOP PICK

Basically Marshalls, Winners and Home Senses. 4,000 stores. They are very nimble. Traffic is very strong. If the economy goes south they can change what they are doing. They just announced a $1.5 billion share buy back. It continues to rock and roll. Great stock for the defensive growth investor. (Analysts’ price target is $55.72)
